"With 23 goals, Adriano Bertaccini is carrying your frontline. Do you worry about relying on him too heavily?"
I want to kiss his tender lips from sunset to sunrise. His low drivens get me giddy for weeks and I can’t wait to use this spectacular player once more

"How big a threat do you see manutdxx1 and Swansea being to your ambitions this season?"
We’re not worried about any of side in the league, the only team we’re worried about is ourselves we’ve lost passion I’ll be honest, coming here just for the fun of it these days

"Out goes Nicolas Raskin, in comes Cristiano Ronaldo — your swap with Aston Villa has the fans talking. Good business, or a gamble?"
King Raskin was worth 20 tokens to me, so letting him go wasn’t the plan. I was holding out in the hope of selling him back to Rangers, but that move never materialised. In the end, if I’m losing Raskin, I may as well bring in the best player in the world. Sometimes you’ve just got to take the deal that’s on the table. Ronaldo in, no complaints.

"You lost 7-0 to Bologna last time out and supporters are frustrated. What went wrong, and how do you turn it around?"
This is the second time you’ve asked me about my 7-0 loss. The Special One does not waste his time on silly questions. Gary Manc from BBC Banter, i look around the league and see you have a bias towards me and my players, and your words won’t destroy the spirit in our dressing room. There’s a reason they call me the Special One. Gary, tell me what the result was? 7-0? 7-0? 7-0?. This also mean 7 own goals from my players this season, and i have more own goals ALONE than the other 13 teams combined. 7 for me, and 6 for them. Respect, Respect, Respect man

"Fans rave about Reece James's vision after 1 assists. Is he your most important player?"
When I think of vision, I think of the ability to see. That is Reece James, he can see. Next.

"The fans are split on freezing out Giorgio Scalvini. Talk us through why he's been listed."
He'll always have a place in my memories... just not in my back four. He was excellent for us, but my tactics don't read last season's headlines.

"bleaugm over at Rangers has been making noise in your league. What's your honest assessment of them as a manager and a rival?"
Bleaugm? Bleaugm. Let me tell you about Bleaugm. I respect the man. I do. I respect him the way you respect a wasp that's got into your car on the motorway — deeply, urgently, and with both hands off the wheel. A superb tactician, honestly. The way he lines up eleven players who have never met each other, never trained together, and in some cases are not entirely aware a match is happening, that takes vision. Is he a rival? Every morning I wake up, I check the table, and there he is. Lurking. Making 'noise,' as you say. And I think to myself: good. Good for him. A man needs a hobby, and his hobby is being three points behind me and telling everyone it's a moral victory. I wish him nothing but the best, second place, and a long, healthy career of coming to my stadium, losing 2-0, and calling it 'a learning experience.' We are close, Des. We are very close. He's close the way a shadow is close. No further questions.
